Salvation has come to the house: radical economics and the marginalized

Peace Sunday 2007

November 4, 2007

We have not let Zacchaeus grow up. For many of us he is still the “wee little man” we sang about in children’s Sunday school that climbed up in a tree in order to see Jesus. Also, we have stereotyped Zacchaeus as a greedy little man who gets saved by Jesus and changes his wicked ways. Zacchaeus, a marginalized tax collector, confessed to Jesus several radical economic practices. He went far beyond simply sharing his goods with the poor. The story of Zacchaeus provides us with a biblical text with which to reflect in study and worship on radical economic practices and the place of the marginalized in pew, public, and politics for Peace Sunday, November 4, 2007.
